Abstract
IoT devices are dominating the technology market in areas such as home, industry automation, and entertainment, among others. Hardware companies are offering multiple options for IoT devices, that include different types of sensors such as temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, air quality, distance, speed, acceleration, and position. Some IoT devices include electric DC motors, stepper motors, servo motors, and Hydraulic or Pneumatic actuators such as valves, pistons, and solenoids. These IoT devices are the base for enabling remote manipulation or control of equipment, monitoring of goods in warehouses, or product transportation via ground, air, or water. Companies called IoT enablers provide the networking and communications infrastructure to support the operation of these devices. They rely on the use of IoT communication protocols such as HTTP/HTTPS, WebSockets, Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP), and MQTT. Some of these protocols provide high throughput, lightweight messaging between IoT nodes and servers, security, reliability, and interoperability. This paper shows the architecture and design considerations of an IoT low-cost IoT modular and customizable system. Also presents a a market analysis of IoT devices, as well as, IoT cloud service providers.
